• • • • You can bypass zones before arming the system or while the system is already armed.
• Your system may have a limit on the total number (1-7) of zones you may bypass
(check with your installer).
• Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause an alarm if violated.
• The system will not allow fire zones to be bypassed.
• Zones are automatically unbypassed when the system is disarmed.
• Vent Zones: Your system may have certain windows set as "vent" zones, which are
automatically bypassed if left open when arming the system (you do not need to
manually bypass them). However, if a vent zone window is closed after arming, it
becomes protected and will cause an alarm if opened again while the system is armed.
• • • • Security code + [6] BYPASS + zone numbers
• Use 2-digit zone number(s) for the zone(s) to be bypassed.
• Single digit zone numbers must be preceded by a zero (e.g. 05, 06).
• When finished, the keypad will momentarily display a "Bypass" message for each
bypassed zone number.
• Wait for all bypassed zones to be displayed, then arm the system as usual.
• When armed, "ZONE BYPASSED" is displayed with the arm message.
• • • • To display bypassed zones prior to arming, enter your security code and press the [6]
BYPASS key.
• • • • Security Code+ [6] BYPASS + [#]
• Wait for all bypassed zones to be displayed, then arm the system.
• In a few moments, all open zones will be displayed and automatically bypassed. Make
sure that only those zones that you wish to leave unprotected are bypassed, and that
there are no other zones unintentionally left open.
• Allows you to easily bypass all open (faulted) zones without having to enter zone
numbers individually. This feature is useful if, for example, you routinely leave
certain windows open when arming at night.
